Except the Knights losing Pearce without a direct replacement and captain in brailey

Is averillo not a fairly good guide of how burton will go? Half available at centre who was the dominant kicker and goal kicker in a terrible team. Maybe slightly lower KM base than avo during his big scoring run, but a far better player, more dangerous ball runner, and dogs can’t really get worse with those signings after a likely settling in period

I don’t think burton will burn anyone too badly early but no doubt 6-7 rounds in he’s the centre you want

I genuinely think Avo is a decent footballer.

As has been said, TLT will go a long way to determining how many $240k players are viable, but a bunch of those named could well be poor options.

Schneider will be a must have it seems. Can't see any serious team starting without him and most will play him in their 17

Fifita will be popular, but in a full strength Sharks team I am not sure if you can play him in your 17. If named he'll be in my 21 though
Max King probably similar, not sure he'll repeat what he did in trials once competition points are on offer, but could be OK in 18-21

Guys like Jennings and Walters (and Vailea from Warriors) I am not sure have great job security. Is Staines really that out of favour that he won't get a run? He knows how to score a try.

One of Fletcher Baker or Suluka-Fifita will probabyl make Roosters bench, but whether they stay there or not, or put up good scores whilst there is another question

If you want to take a punt on someone like Koula, that' a big risk with 21 man squads and limited trades. Could be 10 weeks or more before he gets a run. Are you happy restricting your cash generation for that long

Great minds Wolfman

Hope life is good mate

Whacko is saying Leo Thompson is likely to make Knights bench at $220k
Edrick Lee has been added at $240k as well, could be the starting winger and hold that spot.

Others for less than $300k include:
Russell $260k
Croker $292k
Roberts ~$275k
Ramsey $288k

Agreed. Not sure his position in school or lowers grades but seems to be similar to jahrome Hughes in the sense of developing into a manufactured HB. I feel his biggest weakness is confidence on the field when he backs himself he looks good

Edrick had a horrible time last year. Was kept out of the news but basically broken foot, re-break on return and then didn’t heal and needed surgery. Spent 6 months+ of the year in a boot and because of Covid away from the main group rehabbing at our clinic

Great guy. Would love to see him do well this year! I’ll get info tmw on how close he is. I’d like to see him start over young while hymel hunt is out

Any insight into the greatest of all time, Clifford? Supremely interested in him as a pod.

Ponga Yeo the Mann wrote:

Welshy’s favourite has a monster boot on him and will dominate the nerfed KM with clune as his partner. It’s his season to dominate now without Pearce. He’s “Mong strong” aka undercover strong and has run the ball well in trials. Has frizell next to him to help in D and to hopefully set up for a few tries. Can’t see the knights making the 8 though so attacking stats may be hard to come by. Don’t have them as spooners like many because the tigers still exist and surely we don’t finish below them

Do you think Ponga will be taking KMs off him? Makes me want to pick Ponga rather than him
